Grunewald did admit, under sharp cross-examination, that he had frequent appointments with Lieut.

The club’'s motto is “To Make the Best Better.” It’s insignia is a four leaf clover, each leaf inscribed with the letter “H.” The four “H”s stand for head, heart, hands and health.

It was to iron out scme of these differences that Adm. | Forrest Sherman and Gen. Joe Lawton Collins recently went to Tokyo. One cof these differences, still| not ironed out, pertains to guerrilla warf and sabotage behind enemy * lines. Such tactes have been urged cn General MacArthur but he has kcen reluctant to adopt them. Italian sabotage behind German Lnes, Such tactics have been urged the Italian campaign; likewise French sabotage of the Germans or the Normandy invasion. Stra- | teg.sts in Washington believe that we can do the same thing in Korea, reverse what the North Kur-l ears have been doing to us. o far, we have tried to break| )p North Korean supply lnes by | arcrial bembing and artillery, and while this has been partly auccss-! ful, the enemy continues to move up supplies by -night.

Grunewald and others deny this. Nevertheless this is the conclus.on which Senators are forced to arrive at, No wonder business men come to Washington are worried about talking over telephones. They never know when some competitor, perhaps with the copperation of a Senate committee, is listening in. Yet this is supposed to be the capital of the U.S. not Moscow.

There is a human being, honesty, | justice and God in this world and n our wonderful Juneau is most. I am Mrs. Barbara M. P. Roobanko and my husband is Laurence Roo- banko. We were offered by Mr. and Mrs. John Maurstad to buy property from them on 426 East 4th Street, time we will be able to pay—and as much as we will be able. In case it happens that we can't afford to pay them, we don’t have to pay at all, and at the same time they gave me the property warranty deed at the office of Howard D. Stabler, attorney-at-law, telling me the property is mine forever and I only paid them $10, which was all I luck and told to go at once to Ju- neau land commissioner and record | the deed and the property and not | to worry about payments. God bless you good nice people of | Juneau, Alaska. So, now we are paying them $25 a month and each time I pay I re- ceive an amiable “thank you.” Let us thank you from the depths | of our hearts. from land congnissioner, I and my fixing it. Both of us lacked experience to build and being quite new in Ju- neau, not knowing where to get sup- plies, having not enough working tools, ete., the God sent us most kind and generous neighbor, Mr. Abel Koski, 416 East First Street, who let us use all kind of his working tools and helped us with his smart experience and advice and was soO kind and helpful in a million things. Thank you very much Mr. Abel Koski, our kind neighbor. When it came to rewiring our little home for electricity, Alaska Electric | Light and Power Company esti- mated mately to $269. We agreed on it, though it was lots of money for us to pay and when the job was done by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, I came to the office to pay the bill. Here I was simply struck by human’s honesty and justice. They told me it was not run up to $269. “You must pay us only $142.94, Mrs. Roobanko.” Also at the land commissioner of- fice, city clerk office, city engineer office, and Daily Empire, I receive courtesy, attention and good service. This is Juneau and Juneau people. (Signed). Mrs. Barbara M. P. Roobanko FLEISCHMANXN on a product is like 24 carat on gold—the finest it Im be. Try FLEISCHMANN GIN 1and be convinced.
